This photo exhibit and series of conferences explore the long history of migration in Europe and tracks the materialization of increasingly hostile migration policies in Europe. In the past twenty years, hardline immigration policies have changed the physical, cultural and political landscapes in Europe. Presenters will talk about the British handling of borders outside national limits, security infrastructure and confinement, incarceration, violence and the politics of deterrence, old and new networks of solidarity in France, Italy, and Germany, and representations of migration in France, Germany, and Italy.PROGRAMTHURSDAY, 21 FEBRUARY5.00-6.00 PM - MOFA 250Opening at MOFA, introduction by Vincent Joos (FSU)Visit to photography exhibition by Eric LeleuFollowed by light receptionFRIDAY, 22 FEBRUARY9:00-10.30 AM - DIF 009Moderator: Martin Munro (FSU)Session 1: Historical ContextsHelen Solterer (Duke University) Enclaves: European Fictions for Locking People In & Keeping People OutMax Scholz (FSU) >500 Years of Refugee Accommodation In Germany10.30-11.00 Coffee Break11.00-12.30 PM - FAB 249Moderator: Silvia ValisaSession 2: Italian and German PerspectivesDana Weber (FSU), “The Birthday of a New Germany:” Hospitality and Hostility during the Refugee Influx of 2015-2016Susanna Antonielli (FSU), Framing Flows: Italian and European Debates on Migration and Asylum LawTenley Bick (FSU), Porta d'Europa: Art and Activism in Italy in the Age of the European Migration Crisis12.30-1.45 PM Lunch at Suwannee Room1.45-2.45 FAB 249Screening of Calais, The End of the Jungle2.45-3.00 PM - Coffee Break3.00-4.00 PM - FAB 249Moderator: Vincent JoosCarolina Sanchez-Boe (Danish Research Foundation fellow, CERLIS Université Paris Descartes - Sorbonne Cité, IMC Aarhus University)Infrastructures of Confinement.
